PLATAFORMA SOLAR DE ALMERÍA Figure 3.10 Infrarred image of first salt receiver panel tests in the CESA-1 tower. subsystem, 18-ton molten salt storage tank, 1-MWh evaporator, air condenser, electrical tracing system, tubing, control and measurement system equipped with about 400 sensors. Achievements in 2006: In the first half of 2006, all of the subsystems in the salt receiver bed and experimental prototype had been completely installed. In the third quarter, the measurement and control systems in the experimental installation were commissioned. Testing began in the fourth quarter, including a final stage operating under very demanding conditions (with solar flux of up to 1000 kW/m 2 , salt temperatures of 565ºC and slight temperature differences on the receiver panel.) The first tests with low-flux solar concentration (of about 100 kW/m 2 ) were performed at the end of 2006. Alloyed materials for the receiver were also selected after 2000 hours of comparative thermal aging tests (at 750ºC) and seven months of accelerated aging tests in a weathering chamber for outdoor conditions. Selected materials showed good resistance with less than 0.3% loss of absorptivity under both types of aging. Tests were also made to determine residual impurities in the mixture of salts from different suppliers to decide which will least corrode receiver tubes and ducting. Finally, to ensure suitability of the solar resource at the selected site, all the information available was analyzed, including recorded measurements, generating a meteorological design sequence using the datasets from the surrounding area and collection and analysis of a year of direct measurements at the site.

CONCENTRATING SOLAR SYSTEMS UNIT 3.3.3 PS10 10 MW Solar Thermal Power Plant for Southern Spain Participants: SOLUCAR (E) Coordinator, CIEMAT (E), DLR (D), Fichtner (D). Contacts: Funding: Duration: Valerio Fernández (valerio.fernandez@pssm.abengoa.com); Félix M. Téllez (felix.tellez@ciemat.es) The Project has received a 5-M€ subsidy from the European Commission DG TREN ENERGIE Program.(Ref. NNE5-1999- 00356), and 1.2 M€ from the Andalusian Government. July 2001 to July 2004 (participation of CIEMAT extended by specific Agreement up to plant startup in March 2007). Background: The PS10 Project, begun in 1999, has had a long history to date and awakens many expectations in the solar community, as it is the first commercial solar tower initiative inside and outside of Spain. For the PSA, the PS10 project is of enormous importance as the obligatory reference that focuses research and technology development and channels feedback from industry, in this case the SOLUCAR company, and a public research organism like the CIEMAT, for definition of joint development strategies for heliostats, advanced concentrators, solar receivers, software codes and tools and thermal storage, all subjects which have generated projects funded by the Ministry of Education and Science PROFIT Program. Purposes: The main purpose of the PS10 Project (Planta Solar 10) is to design, build and operate a commercial solar thermal power plant with tower and heliostat field system having a rated gross power of 11 MW. This plant has been installed in the municipal limits of Sanlúcar la Mayor in the Province of Seville and is expected to be inaugurated in March 2007. Achievements in 2006: In 2006, construction and installation were completed and commissioning was begun. During this stage, the PSA-CIEMAT advised Solucar on operating procedures and selection of instrumentation for special variables, such as solar flux infrared measurement during receiver adjustment and testing, etc. Publications: [3.19] Figure 3.11 Infrared measurement of the PS10 receiver during commissioning (14/12/06) from three field observation points 3.3.4 HICONPV High Concentration PV Power System.
